Most of the cultural heritage objects hosted by museums are often stored in unsuitable climatic conditions. APACHE will develop cutting-edge technology to control and prevent the degradation of this heritage.

In the framework of the call FETOPEN H2020, TECSAS project, recently funded, is coordinated by ISM-CNR and started on March 1st, 2021. The aim of the project is the technical and economic evaluation of the integration of an innovative thermionic energy converter for the solar energy concentrated-to-electricity conversion within CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) plants, in order to make them highly competitive if compared with extended photovoltaics. The main output of the project will be the technological validation of the coupling between the upstream thermionic conversion stage and the downstream thermodynamic conversion, and the definition of a business plan strategy that allows to launch this innovation on the market in the short-medium term.
